Xu Zhengyang leaned against the wall with one hand, stunned on the spot.
His eyes were wide open in disbelief at the scene before him.
What is this?
A martial arts movie?
He took two deep breaths and quickly walked to the wall. Looking at the place where she had stepped down with one foot, there was not much damage to the wall. There was only an unbelievably shallow shoe print.
It was even impossible to tell what type of shoe it was.
Xu Zhengyang was not reconciled. He raised his head and anxiously searched.
Soon he found his target.
A surveillance camera.
Just now, this surveillance camera was exactly at an angle that captured that woman. And the woman paused for a moment.
This was the back alley of a large hotel. Xu Zhengyang directly went around and rushed into this hotel.
This hotel was not too big and not very high-end.
Xu Zhengyang rushed in and without a word, threw a ten-cent note at the front desk.
For convenience of use, Xu Zhengyang exchanged dozens of notes in mao and jiao denominations. After all, he couldn't just take out a one-yuan bill casually. Often, people couldn't make change.
The front desk directly led the way to the surveillance room in person.
After spending another ten-cent note, the security guard in the surveillance room had become Xu Zhengyang's little brother.
"Big brother, you can adjust it as you like. I even have candid photos of our manager!"
"Back alley, three minutes ago! Hurry up!"
"Okay!"
The security guard skillfully operated.
When it was adjusted to the back alley, Xu Zhengyang's spirits lifted.
This woman seemed to know there was a camera here. She intentionally kept her head down. When she looked back, there was only a side profile.
And the quality of this surveillance was also average. The filming was not very clear.
But it was this side profile that gave Xu Zhengyang a huge shock in his heart.
He was one hundred percent sure that this person was his own biological mother!!
He would never mistake his own mother.
"I want this video!"
Xu Zhengyang said in a deep voice.
"Sure thing!"
Without hesitation, the security guard directly copied the video and even gave Xu Zhengyang the USB drive as a gift.
After thanking him, Xu Zhengyang didn't care about anything else and quickly left.
However, after the security guard was puzzled for a moment, his face gradually changed.
He took out his phone and dialed a number.
"Hello, manager. The person on the notice you sent just now came to our place. He took away a surveillance video..."
"Okay, I'll send you the surveillance video right away."
At the same time.
At the Zhao family.
Although Zhao Yiming hated eating at home the most, Zhao Huashan had a rule that if there was no proper social engagement, he must come home for dinner together.
The Zhao family was a decent family after all and had to have traditions.
Zhao Yiming ate quickly in a fidgety manner. His mind was full of going to a bar with his friends later. Today, he heard that there was a new batch of da.
At this moment, Zhao Xiaoman's phone rang. It was a message accompanied by a video.
Zhao Xiaoman originally wanted to take a look and then put it down and continue eating. But as soon as she played the video, she immediately stopped her chopsticks.
"Xiaoman, what's wrong?"
Zhao Huashan was puzzled. Zhao Xiaoman was usually the most well-behaved.
Zhao Xiaoman didn't speak. After watching it, she watched it again.
This was a clip of a surveillance video. She watched it three times back and forth. Only then did she frown and hand the phone to Zhao Huashan. Her eyes were filled with an extremely complex shock and disbelief.
"I've been keeping an eye on that Xu Zhengyang recently. This is a video captured by one of our hotels. Xu Zhengyang just rushed into the hotel and bought this video!"
Zhao Huashan took the phone and looked at it.
On the screen, two people chased to the end of the alley. A man and a woman. The woman paused for a moment and then disappeared with a leap forward. The man was stunned there for a long time. It was exactly Xu Zhengyang.
But he still looked at Zhao Xiaoman in confusion. This was just a chase video. And looking at Zhao Xiaoman's expression, she obviously knew something.
"Do you know this woman?"
Zhao Xiaoman nodded. She took back the phone, paused the picture on the woman's face. Then she quickly ran upstairs.
Zhao Huashan and the others were all stunned.
After a while, Zhao Xiaoman came down holding a stack of materials and handed the materials to Zhao Huashan.
"I was particularly interested in this mysterious organization before. And I also studied this woman. If I'm not mistaken, she should be a member of the Guardian Sword."
"Guardian Sword?"
Zhao Huashan took the materials and frowned.
He had only heard of this name. But since it was somewhat distant from them, he didn't pay much attention to it.
Or rather, he hadn't reached that level yet.
After briefly looking at the materials collected by his daughter, although they were all hearsay things, there were several side profile photos in it that surprised Zhao Huashan.
He took the phone and compared. These two side profile photos were at almost the same angle. Definitely the same person.
Zhao Huashan was somewhat shocked and took a deep breath. He looked at Zhao Xiaoman.
Zhao Xiaoman was also looking at him with complicated eyes.
"Unexpectedly, you are still paying attention to such things. How much do you know about this Guardian Sword?"
"I only know that it is an organization. There are many top talents in it. There is even a rumor that they are actually ancient Jianghu organizations. They were prosperous for a time since the Yongzheng period. There are many unknown things!"
There was a flash of excitement in Zhao Xiaoman's eyes. She loved researching such mysterious things the most.
"Well, I've also heard of it. Guardian Sword. I just don't know their nature. Whether it's a civilian organization or related to the government.
But no matter which one it is, I've only heard that they have offended too many people."
"That's right. They are hailed as guardians. They have secretly and openly cracked down on countless underworld forces. They have offended countless domestic and foreign forces. So I was thinking..."
When Zhao Xiaoman said this, her eyes were somewhat gloomy.
"What are you thinking?"
"I suspect that this woman is likely related to him. Maybe there is a blood relationship! Because I can't find any information about this Xu Zhengyang at all. This is very likely the doing of Guardian Sword.
If we can find more evidence to prove that they have a blood relationship.
Then I believe this evidence can definitely sell for a good price. Even a price that can make us soar."
Zhao Xiaoman said excitedly.
If her guess was correct, then the relatives of Guardian Sword. This was a handle to blackmail Guardian Sword. She believed that many superpowers or families would be willing to pay for this news.
Zhao Huashan couldn't help but his eyes brighten. His gaze at his daughter became more and more appreciative.
"Then it's simple. I'll find someone to break one of his legs and see if this so-called sword will come to save him!"
Zhao Yiming was also very tempted by what he heard. Unable to hold back, he shouted.
Zhao Huashan glared at him.
"When will you learn from your sister and use your brain!"
Zhao Xiaoman said:
"Yiming, your train of thought is correct. But we can't do it ourselves. We have to learn to use others to do our dirty work. In this way, even if Guardian Sword really retaliates.
It won't fall on us. But we have collected the evidence. This is the best strategy.
We first create a feud with him and let him lower his guard. Only then can we monitor well. Then we lead the fire to other families."
Zhao Huashan nodded in appreciation and instructed:
"Well, but for this matter, remember, don't leak out any news at all.
If the news leaks out, not only is there the risk of being retaliated by Guardian Sword, but once those big families and powerful forces get involved, there will be nothing for our Zhao family."
"Understood!"
After that, their discussion voices became smaller and smaller. They began a conspiracy.
